Bulgaria take on the visitors North Macedonia in the round 1 match in League C of UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 2nd at Huvepharma Arena (Razgrad).
The Bulgarians failed the last draw of the League of Nations, they did not have victories in six rounds, four of them were lost. They also flew past the upcoming World Cup, gaining the same eight points in eight rounds of qualification for it and winning only two of them. Three recent matches are again lost. And what is going on in their defense, only in two of the last 15 battles they kept their gates shut, and even then, in one of them, insolvent Lithuania was rivals.

North Macedonia, against the background of the upcoming opponent, looks much more prosperous, in the last League of Nations it took second place in its group, scored nine goals in six matches. In the selection for World Cup in Qatar, in their group, again, the second place was taken. In the play-offs, the “red lions” defeated Italy, depriving them of the right to advance at the second World Cup in a row. But in the final they lost to the Portuguese.
Bulgaria have been sliding to the level of Luxembourg in the last couple of years, in the last 37 matches they have managed to win only 5 times and only six times they left the field with a clean sheet. The Macedonians in the attack cannot be said to be downright burning, but they score a goal quite regularly and almost everyone in a row, in 14 of the 20 last matches against their rivals they have scored, and among them, between times, were the teams of Slovenia, Romania, Austria, Ukraine, Italy, Germany, not a bad list. Surely, the Bulgarians, who are now not so bright, will not leave the "red lions" with a clean sheet.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
